WampServer

WAMP 3.1.4 is running on my Windows 10 laptop. I left-click the WAMP icon in the system tray and navigate to a setting - PHP > PHP Settings > max_execution_time, for instance. I change the value of the max_execution_time and WAMP restarts. My changes are not saved. The previous value returns. This happens for every setting I have tried. Any help here would be greatly appreciated! Otherwise I am looking at a complete uninstall/reinstall of WAMP.

Hi,

See errors in php_error.log

- Verify that all VC ++ packages are installed and with the latest versions.
To do this, use the tool:
Checks VC++ packages installed
Do not use a previously loaded tool. Make a new download to make sure you are using the correct version.
To download missing packages, do not rely on Microsoft links, they are not reliable, download packages on http://wampserver.aviatechno.net in section Visual C++ Redistribuable Packages
Do not forget that if you have a 64 bit Windows, you must install both 32 and 64 bit versions of each package.
You must install each package "as an administrator", so right-click the exe file and then run as Administrator.

- Apply Update 3.2.2 to your version of Wampserver
Wampserver update 3.2.2

Thank you, I will follow the instructions you provided. However, I was able to fix the problem by going to Wamp > Tools > Reinstall all services. I think the cause of my issue may have been the installation of the Composer CLI.
